15 Brilliant Hacks You Had No Idea About

5. Glue a magnet to the end of your hammer.

This hack is super useful for any handyman. A strong magnet is required if you want spare nails to stay put while you swing, but you can also use the magnet to collect dropped nails from tight spaces and to find hidden nails or staples during final cleanup.

6. Quickly chill a beverage with compressed air.

We’ve all been there: it’s crazy hot out and someone took the last cold can of pop from the fridge. Don’t sweat it. Fetch a can of compressed air and spray it upside-down onto the drink. Putting the bottle in a container with a sponge will make the process even faster.
